Austin Browlift
Description
A browlift raises the eyebrows and upper eyelids to soften frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows. This procedure softens the angry or tired look caused by a wrinkled brow. A brow lift is often performed to treat conditions associated with aging, and the procedure may be done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to achieve a more harmonious facial appearance. A brow lift (also called Forehead lift) is also appropriate for treatment of certain inherited traits, such as younger adults who have a low brow or who already have deep frown lines due to stress. Most Austin brow lift patients are between ages 40 and 60 years old.
